HELPING US PUSH THINGs-There are
two papers that are specially kind in copy
ing from the columns Of the GOLD LEAF
and publishing from their correspondents
| whatever concerns the Henderson tobacco
| market. They are the Southern Tobacco
Journal, of Danville, Va, and the I05dcc,
Leaf, of New York City, both splendid pub
locations, and especially deserving of ant
entitled to consideration and patronage a
the hands of our tobacco trade. The worl
that these papers do-representative trad
journals as they are-in thus giving pub
LEFTY to our tobacco market, keeping u
prominently before the world, cannot wei
be estimated. The GOLD LEAF takes thi
occasion to express its thanks to both tn
Journal and the Tobacco Leaf for thei
kind and generous assistance in the work
is doing to push its town forward, to pre-
mote the growth and development of tn
Henderson tobacco market, and to impres
upon the trade abroad its importance an
advantages. With sxch strong and il
huential support we feel that our lalol
along this line will not return unto us vol
